Chapter 221: Twice the Success
I had looked into this, and it turned out, unsurprisingly, there was an attribute that corresponded to sleep deprivation and just how much your body needed. Unlocking it would require a long stint at foregoing sleep, and while I was entirely willing to deep dive into my training, I liked sleep too much to go for that just yet. There had yet to be a point in my new life where being awake for days on end was critical.
That wasn’t to suggest I didn’t plan to unlock it one day. There were just many other things I considered a priority. The only real draw I saw to it was the potential to add more time to my day, but knowing me, I’d likely still end up sleeping when I could.
As I walked the the workshop, I pulled up a chat window.
| Dave: Alright, everyone, there’s no more time for slacking. With the Twinoge’s world on the line, we’ve gotta get this simulator useful again. That means we have to find a way to beat the first Arena floor. Any new ideas before we start? Gamma: What if we unite the fighters against him? Corey: We have never tried that, but I am unsure how we would do it. Dave: That’s not a bad idea. Connie does exist in the simulation. If we break for her first, rescue her, and do so without killing anyone, we may be able to use her abilities to convince other fighters to join us. Corey: I concur. Good idea, Gamma. Gamma: Thank you. Will the rest of the fighters be enough, though? Dave: Well, the good news there is they aren’t real, so our best bet is to use them as fodder. If we still fail, we can try a more tactical approach, but that will likely require us mapping out everyone on the floor and their abilities. Maud: With all those modifiers you have, aren’t you gonna have to do that eventually anyway? Dave: Yes, but one thing at a time. If we fail again, that will be the next approach, I think. Corey: Understood. Maud: Good luck! The moose is giving me a look that suggests he hopes you win, too! :)
